THE MORAL FORCE OF MASONRY.
1t Recognizes One God. and Civil and
Religious Liberty.

Samuel Word, now Past Grand Master
Of Montana Masons, in his address before
the Grand Lodge, at Helena last week, de.
fined the principles of Masonry as follows:
ut is not contended that Masonry is re.
ligion, but hold it is deeply rooted in the
principles that are the basis Of all true re.
ligion. 1t makes no attempts to fix the
tenets Of sectarian belief, yet it demands of
every candidate for its mysteries that he
shall have faith in the existence of per-
sonal Deity, the supreme creator OF the
universe, the on1y living and true God.
The Masonry of our ancestors shuts out
the atheist and the irreligious libertine
from its membership. 1t calls for the re.
cognition of God at every step. The all
seeing eye is one OF its hallowed symbols.
The holy writings are an essential part Of
| every lodge, and without it no n asonic
work can be done. More than this, while
| there is not a single promise, emblem or
sign of Masonry in conflict with reverence
for and faith in God, every precept and les.
son the true Mason encounters in his pro-
gress admonishes him that he must square
his life according to the sacred law if he
would fit himself for that temple not made
with hands eternal in the heavens Ma
sonrv puts men in devout attitude before
God, and enjoins them in the strongest
manner to obey his law. 1t docs not AS
sumo to fill the place OF the church, but it
does give recognition to the one eternal
| God and his inmutable laws.
"Rights of individual opinion and the
grand principles Of civil and religious lib.
| erty, in the maintenance of which Past
Grand Master Washington and his follow
ers gained a crown of glory, are funda.
mental axioms among enlightened Masons.
1t sounds its keynote throughout the world
by proclaiming that men are not to be in
terfered with, that they shall not despise
one another because they do not agree, that
they shall be tolerant and charitable one

great principle Of complete liberty, both
civil and religious, which has made the
names Of our fathers famous throughout
the world To that Divine Master of US

seems to be a strong tendency in certain
quarters, notably in English newspapers, to

A LONG TRAMP ENDED.
A Man Who Walked for Nearly Four
 Years Without Ceasing.

Years Without Ceasing.
 WABASH, Ind, Dec. (, 6,-John Snyder, the famous walking man of Blackford county, died at his home at Mill Grove Sunday night.
 Snyder had been afflicted with nervous disease, which rendered it impossible for him to remain quiet, save when he slept. For nearly four years he ate, and sometimes slept, while on his ceaseless tramp, and he literally walked himself to death. It is said that he walked 20, GOO miles on his long tramp.
 His case utterly ba filed the physicians, who contented themselves with predicting that he would not survive the year. Until recently Snyder had been in excellent health and bouyant spirits. Six months ago, how ever, he began to fail, and during the past few weeks his step Jagged, he grew pale and haggard and refused to talk. His limbs began to swell last month and he was troubled with varicose veins.
 Another and last effort to prevent him from walking was made, but it proved unsuccessful, he growing frantic when restrained. He weakened very rapidly dur ing the past week, but fetained the use of his limbs almost to the last.
 Snyder was perfectly conscious at his death, and recognized his friends. Until he began realizing on his inhrmity he was very poor, but his dime museum engagements netted him nearly $12,00Q

THE ARMY OF WORKERS.
THE REGENT IDENTIFICATION AMONG
 THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

An Interview with General Secretary
 Litchman-His Opinion of the Malcon-
 tents-The Revolt Insignificant-Large
 Accessions to the Order.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.-General Master Workman Powderly was not at the head quarters of the Knights of Labor yesterday. A reporter who searched for him to ask his views on the circular issued by the "Pro- visional committee" of the malcontents Of the order, laid the matter before General Secretary Litchman and Secretary of the Executive Board Hayes. Mir. Litchman, after reading the circular, talked freely on the subject of it's effect on the order and it's prospects.
 There is no longer any necessity" said he, "for a member of the Knights to keep the fact of his membership i'll the order secret. Nor is there any necessity for these men who pretend to have great strength in this city to keep their identity secret. No names are attached to this circular, and the public is not ready tosaccept the un- qualified statement of persons who decline to let their identity be known. If the men who are at the head of this movement were delegates to the general assembly they know that the general executive board was in no way responsible for the J must know that the expenditure was made by order of the general assembly itself. The payment of over $500, 900 for settling bad strikes was ordered by the general assem- bly,, and the general executive board was not consulted in the matter at all. Not only was the fund set apart for such purposes thus expended, but $150,000 of the general fund went in the same direction"
 MT. Litchman characterized the reports that the order was going. to pieces as ridiculous and untrue. ''We are getting hundreds of letters daily from all sections of the country assuring us that the movement against the administration is getting no foothold in other districts. Chicago and Philadelphia are the circles in which the movement is strongest, and if the order was to go all to pieces in thos, two places the Knights of Labor would scarcely feel it. It is but drop in the bucket" He then produced records up to July 1, showing that on that date there were 500 9S2 members in good standing in the order. The number now he estimated at not less than 550,OoO, in round figures. Since July 683 new local assemblies have been organized, II lapsed locals have been reorganized, and over 1000 have been reinstated, they having been sus- pended for various causes.
 In conclusion Secretary LitcL'nan said: "They say they will not pay tho per capita tax, and yet they declare the work against us shall be done within the order Jan. the usual notice of taxes due will be sent to every assembly in the order. As was done last year, this will be accompanied by a notice that unless the money is paid within forty days the assembly will be suspended. I give them ten days over the tims given by the constitution. Therefore, if they don't pay up the war upon us W III have to be made outside of the order, and it will not take the members long to recognize this fact.n
